SICC Says 8-Inch Line Utilization Rising as Depreciation Weighs on Profit
On September 11, 2026, SICC said at its 2026 interim results briefing that its earlier large-scale capacity construction investment at the Shanghai Lingang and Jinan bases has put pressure on current profit through fixed-asset depreciation.
The company said utilization of its 8-inch production line is continuing to climb, rising steadily as downstream orders are released.
SICC said its expansion pace is order-driven and that it continues to advance yield improvement on its production lines in order to dilute unit depreciation costs.
Expansion progress and capacity utilization figures are subject to customer certification and order timing.
